i know that you were able to get the Kaminari kit painted from a certain store, but i completely forgot which store it was, or where to get it. i know that there are alot of places that i can buy the kit...but where can i get one that comes pre painted. any help would be appreciated.

 

i remember hearing about that, maybe on the kaminari site?

 

i think its bad news to get a painted body and ship it. Things can happen to the paint while in shipment.. i wouldnt suggest it.. IMHO....

 

bubble wrap!!!!!!!!

 

even with bubble wrap, it can smudge or scratch it if there is dirt present.. i have seen it all the time... they might be small, and you might be able to buff it out, but this is one reason they wont paint something before they ship it.. It would help, but i wouldnt trust it much... ---this is only an observation, as i have mentioned that i have witnessed MANY people with shipping painted items..
